We have given our solemn promise. un-
der all sorts of dire threats, to mention no
names. but il has probably been some time
since we have noticed as perceptible a
ripple of excitement as was yesterday Gre
ated by little incident which occurred on
east Main street.
Owing. no doubt, to the present wet
weather and the muddy. slippery condition
of our streets this little accident occurred.
and, while il is now laughed off as q good
joke, yet for a time it really looded serious
for the party most interested.
We may probably as well add that the
principal in this affair Is one of the best
known citizens of Springfield, which will
make it all the more interesting to our
readers.
The tumble" above alluded to consists
of most wonderful reduction in the price
of our Scotch Cheviots from S33 90 to
S25.00.
These goods. consisting of the very new

the hope that the reader didn't tumble"

DR.. Ernest Besiner lately made a report
to the French academy upon the reap
pearance of leprosy in Europe. The dis
ease, he says, has had disquieting de-
velopment in Spain. chiefly in the province
of Valencia, whence large quantities Of
fruit and greens go TO Paris snd other
French cities. But the disease he main
tains, can only b< transmitted from man
to man directly; it does not either travel
by the ground or by water or air. Neither
is it hereditary. The bacillus of the dis
ease is similar to that Of tuberculosis; it
may even be the same species. The best
means to prevent infection consists in
proper attention to hygiene, cleanliness
and careful diet.-Chicago News.

HANDSOME SUCCESS.
The second Lutheran Bazaar We
Marked Triumph.

The second Lutheran Bazaar Very
Marked Triumph.
The holiday bazar, given by the ladies o,
the Second Lutheran church, in the John.
son building on West Main street yesterday
and last evening was remarkable success.
In point of attendance it was rather too
much of one, for the crowd in the evening
was so enormous that it was impossible to
move around. and people had to comfort
themselves with standing still and being
s9ueezed. The sale of confectionery aud
fancy articles during the day was very
large and at 5 O'Clock in the evening nearly
every thing in the line of fancy goods was
swept clean. Mr.. and Mrs. c. c. Funk
alone purchased SS7 worth of pretty things.
for which the ladies ale very grateful.
The dining rooms did very brisk busi-
nj IS all day and evening and the menu was
excellent, but it is TO be regretted that the
room was not larger, for il is unp'e ,sapt to
be SO closely crowded that you haven't
room 10 bat your eyes or think.

Losing the Sense Of Smell.

NJ. lie Bee, French savant, declares
that civilized humanity is losing the sense
Of smell. As compared with savage hu-
manity, it may be said 20 have lost It
already. The worst Of 1t is, that NJ.
lie Bee predicts the loss Of the nose itself,
as necessary consequence Of its loss Of
functional power. The size Of the present
nasal appendage Of one Of the races that
have been longest civilized encourages US
to hope that NJ. lie Bee tthe name excites
suspicion is a false prophet. II he is not

comeliness. 1T may he that the civilized
man of the future will see no beauty in q

them.-St. James Gazette.
